"Circling Faith is a vital, welcome, eclectic, and ecumenical
collection, and an important addition to contemporary works
exploring spirituality. To students of southern culture, women's
studies, and contemporary American divinity and religious studies,
this book will prove to be a valuable resource."--Melissa J.
Delbridge, author of Family Bible
"This new anthology, edited by writer-producer Reed and poet Horne,
exemplifies some of the best of the multiplicity of voices with
something to say. Its core idea is distinctive: writings on
religion and spirituality by women of the American South. There are
some big names here--an interview with Alice Walker and a touching
essay by Mary Karr. Susan Cushman also discusses Presbyterianism
and Eastern Orthodoxy, and Brenda Osbey writes of everything she
can't tell you about New Orleans and its voodoo. VERDICT An
excellent counterpart to the "Best Spiritual Writing" series, this
varied volume will appeal to literary, feminist, and spiritual
readers in public and academic libraries."--Library Journal
